==Plot==
In a village near [[Tiruvannamalai]], the gifted student Sakthi (Rithik) is from a poor family and his widow mother Lakshmi (Vaman Malini) runs a roadside food stall. Sakthi secures the state rank in [[Twelfth grade|plus two]] exam and he wishes to continue his studies but his family conditions and poverty compel him to give up his dream. During a television interview, Sakthi tells about his dream and the government then helps financially Sakthi to pursue his studies. Sakthi joins a prominent college in [[Chennai]] and he stays in a lodge with his new collegemate Kottachi (Kottachi).

Sakthi gets acquainted with a group of three bad students in the college and he starts taking drugs and drinking liquor. In the meantime, Sakthi befriends his collegemate Nivetha (Varshini) and falls in love with her. When Nivetha comes to know about Sakthi loving her, she rejects him stating the difference in their status. One day, the bad students take advantage of Sakthi and they even steal his money, therefore, he cannot pay the college fees. Failing in life and in love, Sakthi decides to hang himself in a remote forest but before, he conveys his decision through an [[cassette tape|audio cassette]] and sends it to his mother by parcel. At that point, the press reporter Raj ([[K. Bhagyaraj]]) comes across him and saves him from ending his life. Raj, who is a skilled strategist and manipulator, even promises him to solve all his problems.

Raj first blackmails Nivetha to disclose about her love affair with Sakthi to her family and asks her money to buy his silence. With that money, he could pay the college fees of Sakthi. Raj then intercepts the audio cassette with the help of the police. Meanwhile, Nivetha accepts Sakthi's love. Later, Sakthi saves the three bad students who had stolen his money from being expelled from the college and they apologize for their mistakes. Sakthi passes the exam and he eventually marries Nivetha.

==Reception==
S. R. Ashok Kumar of ''[[The Hindu]]'' said, "K. Bhagyaraj still has the magic but he should concentrate more on his make-up and the way he is shown in the film. Both Rithik and Athira are clueless as to what they need to do in some of the scenes" and added, "Both the story and the screenplay are nothing new and the dialogue is average".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/Same-old-tale-Manavan-Ninaithal/article15446443.ece|title=Same old tale -- Manavan Ninaithal|author=S. R. Ashok Kumar|date=25 July 2008|access-date=28 November 2019|publisher=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> A reviewer rated the film 2.75 out of 5 and said, "The idea of bringing about the brighter side and the harsh realities of life was really good but then the makers should have focused on giving the characters more depth and intensity. While the first half of the film goes about on a surface, the second half has its impact moments and intense emotions but then the flavour could have been more tasteful".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bharatstudent.com/cafebharat/movie_reviews_2-Tamil-Maanavan_Ninaithal-Movie-Review-3,403.php|title=Maanavan Ninaithal Tamil Movie Review|access-date=28 November 2019|publisher=bharatstudent.com}}</ref> ''Indiaglitz'' said, "'Maanavan Ninaithal' is a movie that could have been made better had the director infused pace in the screenplay. The narration too could have been placed in better order. Taking into considering that this is Gnanamozhi's maiden venture, a pass mark can be given".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/maanavan-ninaithal-review-tamil-movie-10193|title=Maanavan Ninaithal review|date=28 July 2008|access-date=28 November 2019|publisher=indiaglitz.com}}</ref> Another reviewer stated, "the film looks good and appreciable at some points and it would have been nice if director had focused more on gripping screenplay".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kollywoodtoday.net/reviews/review-maanavan-ninaithal/|title=Review - Maanavan Ninaithal|date=21 July 2008|access-date=28 November 2019|publisher=kollywoodtoday.net}}</ref>
